Parents

<h2>Sometimes when your mom says &quot;I wasn&#39;t born yesterday,&quot; she actually means it...</h2><p>So, when a <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2xlxnw/parents_of_reddit_what_is_something_you_know/" target="_blank">Reddit</a> user asked parents everywhere, &quot;what is something you know about your child that they are unaware of?&quot; people were ready to share the secrets their kids think they&#39;re successfully keeping from them.
